Teesdale Presbyterian Church History

The Teesdale Presbyterian Church, located at 42 Pike Street, encompasses allotments 7 - 10, section 1, within the township of Teesdale, Parish of Carrah. The simple, astylar building was constructed in 1858 of bluestone. The Church was the first public building to be erected in the township of Teesdale and one of the first permanent places of worship for the district's Scottish Presbyterian squatters and free settlers.

Among the first trustees were John Bell of Woolbrook, George Russell of Golf Hill and the Rev. Simpson, who was later appointed as a Moderator of the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church of Victoria. At first, evening services were held one Sunday a month. A Denominational School was established by the congregation in 1858. Thirty-six students attended the school in the first year, with student numbers rising steadily due to the settlement of the surrounding township and agricultural allotments. The school was struck off the roll on the 31 May 1878, following the construction of a government school, located on the eastern side of the Native Hut Creek.

Many of the district's leading figures have been associated with the Teesdale congregation, including three generations of the Miller family of Gowan Brae who have been Church Elders, Member of the Session and generous benefactors. In the 1950s, the church was enlarged by a weatherboard extension at the rear, housing a new pulpit donated by David Keith Pitcairn Miller and World WarTwo memorial furniture. The windows were replaced at this time introducing a notion of the Gothic Revival style. In 1955, a multi-roomed timber building was relocated to the rear of church to house the Sunday School. The Teesdale Presbyterian Church is one of the few active churches in the Golden Plains Shire to celebrate its 150th anniversary. The Church remains relatively intact with a high degree of integrity.
